Cabin Stays at Mansfield on the Manning

Updated May 2025

ARRIVING AT MANSFIELD ON THE MANNING

The gravel road towards Mansfield on the Manning (Manning Valley) was my introduction on how rural and scenic this property is. For anyone who is looking to have a tranquil stay on a rural property Mansfield on the Manning offers it all.

Mansfield on the Manning spans 16 stunning acres along the Manning River, offering endless opportunities for enjoyment and relaxation. The expansive lawn areas are perfect for children and pets. Activities like running, cricket, footy, or simple games of tag can provide hours of fun. Additionally, there is a beautiful bocce court with a deck offering breathtaking views of the river and surrounding area. A table tennis table and yard games complete the list of activities.

A heated guest swimming pool is available, with ample space for relaxation on the daybeds, under the umbrellas, or by taking a refreshing dip in the water.

THE LAGOON CABIN - MANSFIELD ON THE MANNING

My stay was in the Lagoon Cabin offering views of the Manning River, rolling hills and a lagoon that is the playground for many beautiful birds.

The cabin has a veranda with outdoor furniture, a fabulous loft that sleeps two, a well equiped kitchen with everything you need to cook up a storm, a modern bedroom with Queen sized bed, generous sized bathroom and a comfortable sitting room. The decor and furnishings are very impressive.

There is air conditioning in the bedroom for the cold nights (guests are asked to switch off when not in the cabin), a dining table and a day bed with a luxurious rug to keep you snug in the chilly night. The bathroom has a heated towel rail, lots of room and the hot water heats up very fast. Out on the veranda there is also a gas bbq and down on the grass a fire pit.

You can stroll through the orchard, gather macadamias from beneath the trees along the drive, or harvest fresh herbs from the garden

The property is frequented by a variety of local wildlife. The most noticeable are the birds, which can be seen and heard throughout the day and occasionally at night. In the evenings, a few wallabies often pass through, along with koalas, bandicoots, and occasionally a lace monitor or two. Dolphins are occasionally seen in the river, and we have enjoyed kayaking alongside them.

I was looking out for a koala that had been in a tree next to my cabin for a few days, but it wasn't there anymore. I was hoping to spot one on my walk but that never eventuated. Koalas do frequent the property.

ACCOMMODATION

There are four luxurious, self-contained properties that provide complete privacy and offer relaxing accommodations for couples, families, and groups, suitable for weekends, short breaks, and holidays. They are also very pet-friendly.

The two cabins can accommodate up to five guests each, while the three-bedroom cottage can host up to eight.

All properties are beautifully decorated and come with fully equipped kitchens, air conditioning/heating, luxury showers, quality linens, and private barbecues and fire pits.

For the adventurous, kayaks and mountain bikes are available, while hammocks and bean bags are perfect for relaxation. There's also a double-edge infinity pool offering stunning views over the Manning Valley. Less than a kilometre away is the Kiwarrak State Forest, featuring some of the best single-track mountain bike trails in NSW.

A short walk up the hill takes you to the Manning River where guests can enjoy rowing on the river if they feel like it and fishing too.

All of the cabins (and the cottage) have a fire pit to enjoy outside and I really loved lighting the fire and watching the sunset.

The fire pit is easy to light as long as you use very dry kindling and some paper. Stack it sort of like a tee pee (like mine below), put the paper throughout and then light the paper. Once the fire is flaming add some of the logs (the logs are stacked up at the back of the cabins).

The cabins and cottages have a TV and books to read.
